This is a gem of a site on the wonderful Island of Islay. There are only a few pitches and they all have a sea view. The facilities are great and part of the Port Mor community centre.

The cafe is open pretty much all the time and you can hire laptops for pittance.

Port Carlotte is a great little village with friendly people. We visited the activity/nature centre under the youth hostel a couple of times and the kids loved it. The cafe opposite the museum of Islay life is also highly recommended by us.

We used the campsite as a base to explore Islay and found some great walks encompassing wonderful views and history. There is a bird watching centre within a short drive.

Of course there are the distilleries and many whisky tourists. Our son particularly loved watching the ferries in Port Askaig and this was great because we could do this from the beer garden of the hotel there.

We were very lucky with the weather when we visited except for our last night and the forecast of strong winds prompted an early dismantling of our awning as the site is exposed.

It was the third time we stayed there. This year we stayed on the site for six days. The site is perfectly situated overlooking Loch Indaal and the Paps of Jura. Port Mor is a good point for starting a lot of trips around the island

The site staffs was very friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcome.

The cafe offers lovely food and drinks. The sandy beach is small but easy to reach.

There are the best and cleanest facilities in Scotland. We will return and hope the see the sweet cat Tom again!

Like 'UnclePete' said in his review, this is a superb site and agree with all he has said. James runs the site very well. We used the cafe after a night of rain and wind, we had a leisurely get up and had breakfast in the centre - a breakfast that was top value and top quality, great food, great service so nothing more to ask for.

Possibly best showers I have come across on a campsite for quite some time. Everything and that is really everything is spotlessly clean, making the facilities a pleasure to use.

The welcome was first rate.

The pitches are set up from the shore so you get the most glorious views, but a 2 minute walk and you are at the waters edge on a delightful little beach with rock pools to explore.

Islay is a fabulous island, but this site makes it even more worthy of a visit. The site and the centre overall are a credit to Islay.

Spent 5 nights at Port Mor on Islay. Fantastic site with top class facilities which were spotlessly clean and well managed by James who runs the centre. The whole complex is only a few years old and comprises a community facility which is combined with a football field and campsite.

The eight gravel pitches with hook ups for vans are down at the bottom of the site quite a way from the main building with the showers etc, but the short stroll to get to them is a small sacrifice to make for the fantastic views over the loch you get from your van. If you are in a tent however you can pitch much closer to the building if you wish.

The centre has a cafe, which has just been taken over by a new chef, spotless showers and loos, washing machine and tumble drier (coin operated), inside washing up area, a fantastic kids adventure style play ground and a chemical loo emptying point.

Situated a few hundred metres south of the village of Port Charlotte its a ten minute brisk stroll to the wonderful Port Charlotte Hotel which serves some fine food (book a table in the bar as it gets busy in the evenings) and some even finer real ales from the Islay brewery which is just up the road at Bridgend.

A great place to stay, and although not very central, a good base to explore this wonderful island from as you are never too far away from anywhere on Islay.

The facilities were excellent and well thought out. It is on the outskirts of the village so easy to walk to the shop, pubs and local museums

The site even includes a burial cairn at the edge of the camping field!

The community playground on the edge of the campsite was magnificent and very popular with families camping on the site

Our motorhome was allocated a pitch with hardstanding and a hook-up.The views were superb and included the Paps on Jura when the weather was clear but the downside was the wind could blow over hard over Loch Indaal and did!

Site staff were very friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcome. We did not try the cafe but it looked very good

The island roads are very narrow so we decided to hire a car instead of using the motorhome as transport. Full marks to the lady from D and N Mackenzie who delivered a hire car to the campsite and fetched it back at the end of our stay

Port Mor is an excellent site that was well maintained, clean, tidy and well kept. The Warden was extremely friendly but also unobtrusive.

The main building is effectively a community facility which doubles up as the site's main building during the holiday season. Campers have exclusive access to the showering and cleaning facilities during the holiday period. At the other end of the building is an excellent, albeit slightly pricey, restaurant / cafe. The whole building is superbly clean, well maintained with more than sufficient hot water supplies. It was the sort of place where you would not wish to leave the shower.

There are great views looking across the sea loch towards the other part of Islay and the north of Ulster can be seen to the south on a very clear day. It is an excellent location for access to most part of the island (35 mins drive to Port Askaig or 50 mins drive to Port Ellen).

One serious word of warning. The site is very exposed to winds off the nearby sea. There is little protection from either hills or trees. During our stay, strong to gale force winds whipped across the site causing damage to some tents - but that is Scottish weather for you!
